DIY Gas Boiler Installation I used to be CORGI registered

[drm0347]

Up until approx 20 years ago I was CORGI registered for a number of year working mainly on central heating and spending many hours fault finding.

I would like to install my own boiler and necessary rads etc, I understand I must have the gas work installed and tested by a Gas Safe Fitter as I am no longer qualified, I can't see any problems with mounting the boiler myself and coupling it up to the wet system but can't seem to get the legalties regarding mounting the boiler. Feed back I have had says I am not allowed to mount the boiler, Is this just a ploy for an installer to make more money.
So my Qs are
(1) Can I mount the boiler and couple up to heating system providing I have the Gas work installed and commissioned by a Gas Safe Installer.

Can anyone help?

Is it not the hse that would be the ones prosecuting? Is it not in their eyes that to be deemed competent on gas work you must hold the relevant ACS certificate for what you are working on and also be gas safe registered.

To the guy wanting to change his prv. Why not ask your boss to supervise while you change it?

To the guy wanting to change his PRV, why delay? Go ahead and change it. Besides, your boss (who is over qualified) says you are not breaking any laws. So what's the problem? You don't trust your boss???
Personally, I think your mind is made up, so no need to keep asking opinions on here. Go ahead and change your PRV. Your boss (who is training you) says it's ok.
